NFL Week 4: Best Bets and Fantasy Standouts

NFL Week 4: Best Bets and Fantasy Standouts

New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Kyle Pitts Over 3.5 Receptions (+108)
Why: If Dallas Goedert's can have a big game, Pitts can too.  Building off that.
The Game's Best Bet:  Saints +3 (-115)
Confidence: 2/10
Why: There are injuries on both sides, and with news of Olave and Kamara being banged up, I'd like to think the Falcons should be able to take care of business at home.  That said, a divisional game, a low total.  Should be a tight one, and I don't have the utmost confidence in Cousins at the moment to deliver.  I'll take the points.


Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Chuba Hubbard Over 16.5 Receiving (-113)
Why:  Cincy is once again a favorite, and Hubbard is coming off games with 4 and 5 receptions.  Dalton looked the part last week, and will lean on him to play catch-up.
The Game's Best Bet: Bengals TT Over 26.5 (-120)
Confidence: 6/10
Why: Ok...NOW the Bengals get their first win.  Panthers came out blazing last week and are on a high, Bengals got Higgins back last week.  I think they "get back on track" this week.  If not this week, next week vs. the Ravens doesn't look good. 


Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Rome Odunze Over 39.5 Receiving (-113)
Why: Last game, he was targeted 11 times, and we've seen improvement each game.  I'd envision a 5-60-0 type of game from him.
The Game's Best Bet: Bears -3 (-105)
Confidence: 4/10
Why: I know, gross.  But Rams coming off a divisional game they weren't "supposed" to come close, and let alone won, now their 3rd road game in 4 games to start the year.  The injuries we're all aware of, maybe it catches up to them here.  Keenan Allen is expected to return, and I think Caleb does enough to lead his team at home.


Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Aaron Jones Over 59.5 Rush Yards (-113)
Why: Revenge game back in his old house!

The Game's Best Bet: As of Saturday afternoon, not touching since Love is a GTD despite it looking like he will play.
Confidence: N/A
Why: Packers moved from -2, to -3.  Suggesting Love gives it a go.  A divisional game, Darnold and JJ are clicking.  Gun to my head I'd take the Vikings with the points, but staying away.


Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Nico Collins Over 83.5 Receiving (-113)
Why: No Tank Dell, and his ability to make a big play down the field.  All he needs is 3 catches to get this done, and as CJ's #1 target, I love it.

The Game's Best Bet: Texans -6.5 (-102)
Confidence: 8/10
Why: The Jags are now on the 3rd road game in 4 games, and just got EMBARRASSED by the Bills on Monday.  Now on a "short" week, look for Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. to cause Lawrence a ton of trouble.

Denver Broncos at New York Jets - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Breece Hall Over 15.5 Rushing Attempts (-114)
Why: Feel like it's one of those ground and pound type of games.  Let the most talented man on the Jets backfield run, run, run!
The Game's Best Bet: Jets -7.5 (-115)
Confidence: 6/10
Why: The hook scares me here in what should be a great defensive battle.  The difference in QB makes a mega difference in this game.  The ability to handle the pressure of a top tier front 7 will show here.  I think Nix makes one too many mistakes here that prove costly.  Expect plenty of ground and pound.


Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Justin Fields Over 39.5 Rushing (-113)
Why: Is Harris fully healthy?  Warren?  I think we see a few extra rushes from Fields in this one.  If he has 10 rushes (which I think is reasonable), he gets there.
The Game's Best Bet: Steelers -2.5 (-105)
Confidence: 8/10
Why: Tomlin keeps doing his thing and the defense looks stout as ever.  Richardson 49% completion percentage on the season isn't going to get much better in this one.  I think Steelers can grind one out.  I need to see A-Rich put up a string of good games to have some faith at this point.

Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 1:00 PM EST

Fantasy Player Highlight/Prediction: Saquon ATD (-140)
Why: Eagles WR's are all types of banged up, and Saquon will be leaned on again.
The Game's Best Bet: Eagles ML (-118)
Confidence: 5/10
Why: Eagles are dealing with some offensive injuries, and with TB as a slight dog at home...this has me scratching my head.  I think it's a FG type of game, but can Saquon be stopped?  I think Jalen Carter gets to Baker as well.  The Broncos dealing the Bucs that bad L last week still is fresh in my mind too.
